December 27, 2022 - Phenomenal, third night open and this is such a beautiful, wonderfully balanced wine. Can easily go for many more years.
Note, starting to throw a good amount of sediment so make sure to decant, it also thrives with a couple hours of air, or drank slowly over a few days. Will continue to buy and hide away. -

December 26, 2022 - Very surprised by this wine. Rich, blue and red fluids. Oh he’s turning out to be a great year for Napa. Medium to long finish. Nice notes on the nose of cigar and dust and red earth.

October 28, 2021 - Delightful wine. The nose is amazing…Sweet, powerful and boozy with brown sugar, molasses, some cola a little menthol and hoisin. Big chalky tannins and peppery. But strangely thin despite its palate presence

October 9, 2021 - Amazing nose of peppercorn, eucalyptus, sundried tomato, smoked meats. Hits the palate with blackcurrants, dark chocolate, black olives, crushed rocks, and mint. Full-bodied and dense, with smooth, rounded tannins and good supporting acidity. Finishes long and dry. Decanted for 1 hour at Huntress Steakhouse in San Diego, but could have used more. This has shed any baby fat it might have had in its youth and has transitioned into a mature, elegant cabernet. Can easily go for a few more years in its current form.
